Jammed camera The lens on my Digimax S800 Samsung camera is stuck in the open position and when I put new batteries in it and tried to turn it on it beeped three times then shut off with the lens still in the open position. What's up with that? Will I need to send it in to the manufacturer? [email protected]

A temporary fix to power up is to press the menu and power button at the same time. When the lens is extended and it beeps, on my camera , the lens is *stuck* Give it a gentle tug , then try the power button again

I don't know how but the problem seemed to fix itself. I left it alone for a few weeks then put new batteries in the camera and it started working. A few weeks later the same thing happened again, it got jamed in the open position. I removed the batteries and re installed the same batteries and it started working again. I guess it hickups every once in a while.

I've had the same problem and tried several sets of (brand new) batteries and rechargeables before I found a set that had enough power to satisfy the samsung. It goes through batteries at an amazing rate.
